The History of Silk
Silk is one of the most famous materials in the world. It has been used for thousands of years. Silk was first made in China around 2700 BC. According to legend, the Chinese Empress Leizu discovered silk when a cocoon fell into her tea. She noticed that the cocoon was made of a long, soft thread. This thread could be used to make beautiful fabric.
For many years, the Chinese kept the secret of silk production. They did not allow anyone to take silkworms or mulberry trees out of China. However, around 200 BC, silk production spread to other countries, such as Korea and Japan. Later, it reached Europe through the Silk Road.
Today, silk is still highly valued. It is used to make clothing, scarves, and even furniture. China remains one of the largest producers of silk in the world.
